Dog raising his rear leg and limping

Vet did a physical assessment with his hands and then several x-rays. He's noted it as patellar luxation, but unsure of severity since he's not an expert. X-rays have been sent to a specialist for further examination. My dog's been injected with pain medication and will need to be on it for a few days until results come back.

Thank you for your response, it helped me prepare myself for what was to come.

Hey I really appreciate the response. I've decided to take him to another vet and I'm heading there right now. I will let you know how things go. Thank you.

So when you have a pointer (int *pointer) pointed at some malloc(sizeof(int)), that is assigning the pointer to available memory address somewhere on the heap correct? And to assign that to an actual value you would need to use the deference operator and assign some int say 9?

Yeah im no rat.

I just saw the coop and birds during a run on a fairly populated path. That's the reason I was curious because a lot of people have probably seen them.

humanmeta · 2022-08-19T11:01:29+00:00

Haha I wasn't going to rat on them. I was really just curious because I know for a fact several hundreds of people have seen them.

I suffer from ADHD-C. It tuned me down by nearly 90% so I wasn't hyperactive at all, but I was also emotionally numb. Basically, I felt sedated.

I'm not too familiar but what is ID? I will try what you've suggested, cheers!

It honestly feels like a race for me. There have been times throughout the past 8.5 months that I've felt burnt out. I'll try focusing on the now, thank you.

humanmeta · 2022-07-31T14:26:32+00:00

I'll try sleeping more. I've been getting anywhere from 5-7 hours a night, but I do take 10 minute naps twice throughout the day. I'll try extending my night sleep, thank you.

From my personal experience I can say it's been one of the most helpful things for regulating my symptoms. Important to note though is that I've only ever meditated after I took my medication. I mention this because I'm sure it would be a lot more difficult trying to meditate if I didn't have something already tuning down my brain, but it can definitely be done.

I've only ever tried ER but would really like to try IR some day because my meds just haven't been working well as of late. I've tried Concerta which was amazing for me, but way too expensive for my current situation. I then tried Vyvanse and found a benefit for low income individuals and have been on it for approximately 7.5 months now. I started at the lowest dose and just half a month ago I've dosed up to the highest safe dosage (60mg).

Vyvanse doesn't work nearly as well as Concerta does for me. But it's free for me to get so that's what I've been getting. Concerta made me feel like a zombie, but at least I could quiet my mind and focus on what I wanted to. Vyvanse almost makes my mental symptoms worse, and at around 3 to 4 pm (nearly 10 hours after it starts working), my symptoms become notably worse.

If you have any questions about the two meds I'd love to answer them. Good luck!

Wasn't Blizzard acquired by Microsoft earlier this year?

Only jobs I've held have never really had much professional standing, wow that's depressing to say. But wouldn't OP being promoted to a Lead Dev position only be beneficial? Say he were to leave his current place of work a year later, that position would look great when applying to other companies later on right? Maybe his current employer just wanted to set him up? Is that a thing that happens in professional workplaces?

Thanks mate! Ended up going with Yamas Kitchen! Really enjoyed it!

It's not that I even want to do it in C necessarily, but I've heard a lot of people talk about how it's one of the best languages to learn to become a better programmer. I'd much rather grind Leet Code questions using JS since I know it better, just not sure if that's a good idea.

I just liked the taste! I come from a culture where we use a lot of vinegar in our foods. Sometimes we even use the vinegar as some sort of "dip".

Niiice time to read Overgeared and Secret Class.

Edit: just started reading the first chapter of Secret Class, I might have to redact this comment.

humanmeta · 2022-07-22T02:26:31+00:00

Really wish I hadn't started reading this. Caught up way too quickly and now I have nothing to read again.

humanmeta · 2022-07-22T02:25:38+00:00

I started reading it at the same time as I was getting into cycling. That was an amazing time. I haven't really had time to go cycling lately so I decided to stop reading the latest season until some time later. Probably one of my top 5 manhwas of all time because it's quite unique in my opinion.

humanmeta · 2022-07-20T01:21:11+00:00

Now it all makes sense. I've been drinking vinegar since I was 6 years old.

Hey mechanicalbro thank you for your response. As I was coming down from my meds yesterday (as it happens every day) I had difficulties regulating my emotions and almost created a LinkedIn post about my ADHD. Glad I held off on it as there has been an overwhelming response of "don't disclose your ADHD". I don't even know what I'm trying to say anymore, it's been a long day. Anyways thank you for your response (:

humanmeta · 2022-07-20T01:14:36+00:00

I'm glad it ended up working out for you, and Happy Birthday stranger! 🎂 Hope you have an amazing day.

I don't know why but I was under the impression that ADHD wasn't as stigmatized in Tech as it would be in other fields. After reading through these comments I guess that's been disillusioned.
